I LOVE the rain!!!!!!!!

Merlotgran it was lovely to hear about your nesting robin. I love to see a robin in the garden.

People say if you see a robin, the spirit of a loved one who has passed away, is near you. I don’t really believe that but always find it a comforting thought, when I do see a robin ...

I felt like going out and dancing in it this morning????
Not enough though, I want much more.

Charleygirl did you sleep in today girl? ?. I woke this morning to a downpour it lasted a good while, it was a good soaking for the garden and we’re only a couple of miles apart.

Oh, what a shame Merlot but well done for looking on the bright side.
Hope it all goes ahead next week. Family have arranged a bbq to celebrate my birthday (10 days early) it will be lovely to have them all together.

So good to know I’m not the only one who loves rain! It’s not just the garden that needs it. It makes me feel better too.

Charley I’m blowing hard to send the rainclouds your way! We’ve had enough to fill our water butts, so mustn’t be greedy! ????

We've had to postpone our 'bubble' garden party with DD and DSiL today because of the weather. We'll try again next Saturday.

I was feeling really down and disappointed because we were so looking forward to seeing them having had no contact with anyone bar the postman for three and a half months!

Then I looked out the window at the veg garden and my mood changed immediately. Even the small fennel seedlings had lifted their heads and were doing a little dance.

Our tame robin was hopping in and out of the greenhouse where she is sitting on five eggs in a nest under the bench. I have to let her know when I'm about to go in and fetch something and she obligingly pops out of a broken window pane at the back while I grab my window of opportunity

Nice to know I won't be spending nearly an hour watering tonight as well.

It pleases me that we get such a variety of weather in the UK.
I am fond of rain, windy days when the clouds scud across the sky, and crisp cold days too.
I realise I only require 7 consistently hot sunny days when I have a pool to dip in on my holidays. ?‍♀️

Me too, all the storms have missed us though and I love a good storm

A rain lover!!! Hooray! I love it too, as I can't take hot days. I sit out on my patio swing seat under an umbrella with a raincoat on, very early in the morning, with bare legs. It's bonkers but beautiful. (Also, my allotment needs rain, so maybe that makes me a bit biased ha ha.)

I wish it would come in my direction, NW London- please do not be so selfish ladies!

It is very muggy and dull here but zilch else. I may even have to water my plants!

Yes, good excuse to stay inside and read!
